This is a conversation that I had moments ago with Jennifer Grimm after she
noticed that I was 'dressed up'. I'm looking for a job.
Jen: "Oh Tob! You look nice! Are you going job hunting today?"
Tob: "Yes."
Jen: "Hmm, where's your belt?"
Tob: "What belt?"
Jen: "You need a belt."
Tob: "Why?"
Jen: "You just do. Now go put on a belt."
Tob: "I don't own a belt."
Jen: "You don't own a belt?"
Tob: "I buy pants that fit to begin with, hence not needing a belt."
Jen: "Tob, you don't wear a belt to keep your pants up. it's an accessory.
Don't you know anything?"
Tob: "Pretty soon you'll be trying to tell me that men don't wear ties to
draw attention to their genitals. It's a crotch-focus thing."
Jen: "What?"
Tob: "Sure, haven't you ever noticed where a tie points? It's a form of
male insecurity. It all goes back to a primate mentality and a type
of self-affirmation. Wearing a tie says `I am a manly man. See? I
have a penis and I am so proud of it that I'll wear this arrow around
neck that points right to it. Now whenever anyone looks at me, their
eyes are drawn down to my crotch. I am a MAN', crotch-focus. That's
what it's all about."
Jen: ... (in incredulous silence)
Tob: "I don't own a tie. If I want someone to look at my penis, I'll just
pull my pants down. Saves on a lot of subliminal and psychological
wear and tear; I have to save my brain for other things."
Jen: "What?...what could YOU possibly need your brain for?"
Tob: "Oh, I don't know. But if I think of something, I'll let you know."
Jen: "Great, thanks. Now go away, you're making *my* brain hurt."
Tob: "Well, the reason your brain hurts is because of that hat you're
wearing. Do you know why people wear hats? It's because they are
trying to...."
Jen: "SHUT UP!"
Tob: "Okay."
Just thought I'd share...
